How much does God love me?  When He looks at me and sees all the mistakes I make, what does He think?  What does He feel?  I pondered these same questions recently one evening as I played with my little 18 month old daughter.  She is a lot of fun.  She is constantly learning new things…learning how to throw balls, learning how the remote control works, learning new words, learning how to take her Popsicle wrapper to the trash can.  As I sat and watched her play and try new things that evening, I realized how proud of her I am.  I realized that I was rejoicing over her; just watching her brought joy to my heart.  You see I love my little girl with all of my heart.  There is nothing she could ever do that would change my love for her.

The Bible says in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Remember today that the God of the Bible loves you unconditionally.  He rejoices over His children.
